Folk Instrumental Orchestra of the International Culture & Art Centre Kyiv. Melodies Known Worldwide.

I don’t have much to tell you about this orchestra, as everybody who likes to listen to Ukrainian music sooner or later gets acquainted with its creative activities. These musicians work much and fruitfully with leading artists of Ukraine, they have recorded a lot of library music, moreover, the period of their existence – more than 30 years - speaks for itself. In case it does not speak for itself, you should simply try and listen to it. This is a masterly and harmonious performance of a great orchestra consisting of real masters, which is rated highly not only in Ukraine, but far beyond its bounds. Everything is efficient and right – and performed with spirit. What is more important - it is not a bare technique. It is easy to feel. After all, these are folk instruments. No doubt, this fact applies special tones to the attitude towards this music and its sounding. The palette of genres of the performed compositions is pleasantly rich – this disc contains melodies, which really became famous almost all over the world long ago, and not in the last place thanks to this orchestra. That’s why I have nothing to do but to wish you to get a real pleasure of this disc. I think, it is very easy.
